Burgau is a charming, whitewashed fishing village on the west coast of the Algarve, between Lagos and Salema. Nestled against a hill, it boasts narrow streets, charming restaurants, and a sheltered sandy beach. Despite some tourism, Burgau has retained its authentic, relaxed atmosphere and is sometimes called the Algarve's "hidden gem."

The Varanda de Burgau is a great café with an unbeatable breakfast. The coffee is also a delight to enjoy the morning hustle and bustle in the streets
